Written on 5/15/2009 12:00:00 AM by poison_ivy
If you're planning a trip to Europe this Summer and you're subscribed to Vodafone, then bring your phone with you because according to a source, Vodafone will be abolishing roaming charges for Vodafone Passport in 35 countries across Europe as well as Australia and New Zealand.
So from June 1 to August 31, all you have to do is opt in to Vodafone Passport and when you're abroad, you pay your usual rates for calls, texts, and picture messaging abroad. Of course, any data used abroad is exluded and you have to pay the usual roaming charges. Looks like Vodafone is jumping the gun on the European Parliament's mandate to cut roaming charges.
The 35 European Countries included in Vodafone's free roaming are:
Albania
Latvia
Andorra
Liechtenstein
Austria
Lithuania
Belgium
Luxembourg
Bosnia Herzegovina
Madeira
Bulgaria
Malta
Canary islands
Monaco
Channel Islands
Norway
Croatia
Poland
Cyprus
Portugal
Czech Republic
Republic of Ireland
Denmark
Romania
Estonia
San Marino
Faroes
Slovakia
Finland
Slovenia
France
Spain
Germany
Sweden
Gibraltar
Switzerland
Greece
The Netherlands
Hungary
Vatican City
Iceland
New Zealand
Isle of Man
Australia
Italy

It is a load of BS! They charge 75p connection fee per call and THEN it uses your usual rates.
This is rubbish if you just want to make a quick call!
Vodafone don't make it very clear that if you accidentally get onto another network which can easily happen eg. T Mobile in Croatia - you'll be paying extorniate rates. £16 for a 15 minute call - what a con!
